VR arrowhead in a diamant for Adrianus Verroen, registered in Schoonhoven and in Gouda
He was born in Schoonhoven in 1764 and was registered there from 1791 until he moved to Gouda in 1807, where he established himself as a gold and silversmith. In Schoonhoven, he used AR in a rectangle as his maker's mark. In Gouda, he used AVR, joined together in a rectangle, as his maker's mark. During the French period, he used a mark VR arrowhead in a diamond (1812-c. 1815). Later, he used a mark VR arrowhead in a square. In 1840, he lived in Gouda, without any occupation. Adrianus was a known bracket maker. Year letter F for 1815.
